@igaryhe1 would you ever want to sell https://t.co/CJjuzbDAJS?

@atomkirk Honestly one of the best things AI has brought thus far is not having Ads everywhere and basically an API for googling.

It's like when Netflix came out... I can just binge entire seasons of information now without ads 😄

@thepatwalls I actually did the same, wrote better titles and descriptions with AI for 200ish articles in about 3 hours and saw an impactful result

@jlengstorf s/waste/invest/ 😁

@thepatwalls I'm super guilty of this

It wasn't until I tried to launch my side project of 3 years that I realized no one wanted it.

It paved the way for me to start a much more successful one and I only had to work on it for a few months!

Deciding my first project failed was liberating.

@tannerlinsley @tan_stack Congrats Tanner!

@jamsouf @robzolkos @basecamp @github @Shopify Only to when you're making millions or more in MRR

@atomkirk I used to think the tech mattered.

Then I got a bunch of customers with the crappiest code I've written in almost a decade and everything was fine

[Dan Willoughby 🚢 @plainice_]

@burkov Yeah... Also does that with code samples... Continue like this...

No, I wanted you to write the whole thing.

@atomkirk Use descript to get the transcript, pass the transcript to ChatGPT, then paste it back into descript. I bet it'd do pretty good

[Dan Willoughby 🚢 @plainice_]

Uhh actually it's 55 🙃 but ChatGPT's confidence is very convincing

[Dan Willoughby 🚢 @plainice_]

@claytonlz Agree, I usually look for a GitHub link, run the code locally, if it runs I click around a bit to see if it's what I want to learn. Then I go read the tutorial

[Dan Willoughby 🚢 @plainice_]

@tdinh_me Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration.

Reading your responses about your unfair advantages made me see I have more of them than I realized.

Any advice for setting sights higher than ramen profitability (recently unlocked it 🥳)?

[Dan Willoughby 🚢 @plainice_]

@j__spriggs It'd be free to host on @Firebase, however, a bit more of a learning curve

[Dan Willoughby 🚢 @plainice_]

ChatGPT is seriously impressive. I wrote 3 articles last week with it in like 6 hours spread across two days.

Where I would usually procrastinate for 3 days and then write 3 articles in 8 hours spread across two days.

@asmartbear Yeah I agree it's not perfect and I've never purposely done it, but most often that's how I had contact with users in the early days when I was still building things out

[Dan Willoughby 🚢 @plainice_]

@asmartbear Bug Driven Development 😇

[Dan Willoughby 🚢 @plainice_]

@asmartbear Here's something I've accidentally done, but I think it could actually work.

Release a small bug that is annoying enough to contact support, but not bad enough that it totally breaks. When they email in, fix the bug immediately. Then when they're happy follow up with a question

@yongfook I saw a similar SaaS Summer Slowdown.

Say that 5 times really fast without messing up 😄

@jenseng @ReactRally I hope it's about taking a selfie and then using AI to turn your teeth into a piano which you can then play without javascript? 🙃
